Slashdot Discussions Now Include Roulette Video Chat

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the let's-keep-this-rated-pg dept.

It's been a long time coming, but we're pleased to announce the latest updates to our discussion software. We've been paying a lot of attention to what other websites have been doing in the space, and as we are only too happy to steal good ideas, from now on all Slashdot stories will now be accompanied by a Roulette-style webcam video chat. In testing, we've discovered that Slashdot users are amazingly likely to engage in informative, troll-free discussion when presented with the video image of one of their peers. This new addition to Slashdot nicely rounds out and improves the discussion experience for all users.

      Once again, proof that Apple knows best and by removing flash from the iPad has saved you from the evil it brings.

    You're libel to get man boobs.

    That's only possible if there is a permanent record made. If the image isn't published then you are _slander_ to get man boobs.

    I always read Slashdot with my cock in hand, so I suppose this means that Cmdr Taco actually read that reader survey form I filled out last year.

    I'm his admin, and I am really wanting to know why he's tying up the work servers... Honestly, he came in this morning with about 600 feet of rope and has been tying onto all the servers since 9:00am. he wont stop, and has locked himself into the server room. Security cant get him out and I'm about 5 minutes from hitting the halon system to end it all.

    If you want to save his life, please talk him down, he keeps talking about how the devil on slashdot's new video made him do it..
